It should have been a dreamlike story, like something out of a fairy tale.
Until that day three years ago.
Three years ago, Rice Shower, known as the “Black King” and the strongest long-distance Uma Musume, having won the Spring Tenno Sho three times in a row, collapsed in agony on the track at the Takarazuka Kinen, bleeding profusely.
She should have been forced to retire, but instead she left without a word, dragging her still-unhealed left leg, and vanished from everyone’s sight.
A cloud of misfortune completely obscured their happiness, and the bond between them, too.
The one called “Big Brother” kept running around.
Searching, searching, searching, until the gears of fate slowly began to turn, right up to the present day, three years later.
The gears set the mechanism in motion, lifting one corner of the curtain. The story that had come to an abrupt end now continues with its next chapter.
In a rosebud that had long since withered, a tiny miracle is quietly blooming.
